Nitsuko Ds2000 Multibutton Telephone Feature Handbook

							Prime Line Preference allows you
to place or answer a call by just
lifting the handset. You do not
have to press a line key, loop key
or the ICM key first. Check with your Communications Manager
to find out if you have Prime Line Preference, and which key on
your phone is your Prime Line key.
Prime Line and Ringing Line Preference
Ringing Line Preference has priority over Prime Line. For example,
Ringing Line Preference will answer a ringing outside call, not give
you dial tone on your Prime Line. Also, a ringing Prime Line has pri-
ority over any other ringing trunk. The answer priority is as follows:

Ringing Prime Line

Ringing non-Prime Line

If you want to bypass your Prime Line, press a
line or loop key before lifting the handset.

stillbe interrupted by Barge In attempts and Camp-On signals
sent to your co-worker.

							While on a handset call, Reverse
Voice Over lets you make a pri-
vate Intercom call to an idle
co-worker. You just press and
hold down your Reverse Voice Over key to make the private call.
Your initial caller cannot hear the Reverse Voice Over (private
Intercom) conversation. The private Intercom call continues until
you release your Reverse Voice Over key. Your initial call can be
an outside call or an Intercom call to a co-worker.
If you are a salesperson, for example, Reverse Voice Over can help
you while placing a call to an important client. You can talk to the
client and give special instructions to an assistant — all without
interrupting your initial client call.
You can have Reverse Voice Over keys for more than one
co-worker. Ask your Communications Manager if you have any
of these keys.
While your telephone is idle, your Reverse Voice Over key func-
tions the same as a Hotline key. (You cannot, however, use it to
Transfer calls.) The key shows at a glance the status of your co-
worker’s extension.
